Every second that passes, every hour that elapses, every flip of the calendar puts us closer to the time of the Lord's return or to our appointment with death. According to the CDC, one death occurs in the United States every 10 seconds. By the time you finish listening to this 54-minute program, 324 people will have been ushered into eternity. Some recognize their present health condition reveals there is not much time left. For others, death comes by total surprise due to an auto collision, a heart attack, an aneurism, a freak accident or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We just don't know when our appointment with death will occur. This is what compels believers in Christ to share the Gospel. Such is the case for our guest on this edition of Crosstalk who became burdened for our nation's capital, Washington D.C. This past January we first introduced you to the DC Gospel Outreach, an organized plan to blanket our nation's capital this summer with the Gospel as tourists flooded into the city, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. We asked you to pray…we asked you to go…we asked you to consider a gift and several responded in a variety of ways. Now all these months later we invited our guest back and he provided listeners with a very encouraging report on what happened with the DC Gospel Outreach. That guest is Dr. Alton Beal, the executive director of DC Gospel Outreach. He's also an evangelist and president of Ambassador Baptist College which trains men and women for full-time Christian service. More Information DC Gospel Outreach 104 – 1 N.

Could you be drifting into spiritual sleep without even realizing it? Discover six biblical warning signs of spiritual complacency in this in-depth, expository sermon on Mark 14:1–9. Spiritual sleep rarely happens overnight. Just as a driver can gradually fall asleep behind the wheel without recognizing the danger, Christians can slowly lose their spiritual alertness. Fear of God diminishes, sin becomes less troubling, worship loses its significance, and the promises of Scripture no longer seem as real as they once did. In this message, we examine Jesus' anointing at Bethany and discover what the contrasting responses of Mary, the disciples, and the religious leaders reveal about the condition of our hearts.

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.

The reading outlines five definitive facts regarding salvation found in Romans 8:29-30, emphasizing that God's foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and glorification of believers were established before the foundation of the world. It argues that these acts are entirely dependent on God's sovereign will rather than human effort or circumstance, ensuring the absolute certainty of the believer's eternal security. The message encourages Christians to verify their calling through spiritual evidence such as a hunger for God's Word and the fruit of the Spirit, rather than relying on feelings or external events. By highlighting the past tense of these actions in Scripture, the text presents salvation as a completed work of grace that spans from eternity past to eternity future. The tone is instructional and comforting, urging believers to rejoice in the assurance that their names are written in heaven and that God's purpose for their redemption is unshakeable.

Have you ever considered how something as simple as where you sit in church might affect your pastor? In this heartfelt episode, Brother Byron shares his personal experience with the discouragement of preaching to a congregation scattered across the back and far corners of the sanctuary, leaving rows of empty pews in between. He discusses how this affects preaching, fellowship, visitors, and the overall atmosphere of worship. More importantly, he offers an honest look at the often-unseen struggles of pastoral ministry and reminds us how even the smallest acts of consideration can make a tremendous difference. It's not about filling the front pews; it's about closing the distance between us.
